NATIONAL BRIEFING / WASHINGTON, D.C.
Times Wire Reports
The Republican National Committee pulled in $5.1 million during Michael S. Steele’s first month as chairman.
The February sum is roughly the same as what the party raised in January before Steele was elected. It’s also comparable to the amount Democrats collected in February 2005 when they were out of power in Congress and coming off a losing presidential election -- just as Republicans are now. Overall numbers released Wednesday show the RNC has $24 million in the bank and no debt.
